Post-modern nursing/carative nursing
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 19 years ago
This was an excellent continuation in the ongoing development of Jean Watson's theory of nursing as carative. The book takes her theory to the next level of the choices we need to make as a profession and the potential ramifications. The book is by Jean Watson.

Postmodern Nursing and Beyond
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 25 years ago
Jean proposes reconstruction for nursing in the 21st century by recalling our Nightingale roots. She eloquently and courageously calls nursing to reclaim its caring-healing identity in the post-modern/transpersonal world. The book is a provacative yet authentic discourse that leaves one wondering: "How will nursing respond?"
